My little dog decided to pee in a corner of the room on my beige rug that I didn't catch so the stain set. It's yellow and its smells. I tried store bought cleaners like resolve and others but the stain is still there and it still smells. Can anyone out there suggest anything to get this stain out and help the smell in the rug? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I found an old pee stain from my Mom's dog when she came to stay with me......the dog may have even peed in the same spot a couple of times..not sure. I tried vinegar, carpet shampoo, pet stain remover, etc. and I could still smell pee. I then used "kidsnclutter" suggestion about 3 or so post above....

Mix (any brands) 8 ounces hydrogen peroxide (brown bottle in 1st aid aisle), 1/4 cup baking soda (orange box baking aisle), and just two drops ONLY of hand dishwashing liquid. Mix this well in a bucket & put into a spray bottle or sprinkle can. Use liberally. Allow to dry, or blot up & reapply allowing to dry after blotting excess. This will cure the odor even for the pet, and remove the stain, even set in stains. Some might require re-treatment. This solution must be used within about 20 minutes of mixing, works from the byproducts produced, does not store well. Won't work as well if stored, no byproducts anymore. Can still use as an all purpose cleaner if left over. This has saved many mattresses & oriental type rugs. Be sure it gets to the padding of the carpeting also. Beware of damaging hard woods under carpet.

It worked wonders. I smell no pee at all.....hopefully the smell dose not retun...I know at times this can happen. I will wait and see but I am pretty sure this has taken care of the problem!!! YEA!!!!!!

Many cleaners will work but make sure you are using cool water. Since it's a protein based stain warm water will just cause it to set in faster!

I agree with Cindy A. Natures Miracle is the best that I have used. I have two dogs and a new home, it works.

I actually have tried the Simple Green and Carpet Fresh but haven't had much luck. I find it works with vomit stains but not with pee stains. They keep reappearing. However, I'm trying this on berber carpet. Does anybody have any berber carpet advice?

I have a large recurring urine stain from our Alaskan Malamute puppy that she keeps going back to. I have used vinegar, Spot Shot, commercial products, steam cleaner products and the stain reappears after a day. Do you have any suggestions?

RE: Dog Pee Stain On Carpet

Although I'm not sure, I would think that since enzymatic cleaners dissolve the molecules that make animal urine smell, it may take the stain out of the carpet. You can buy these at the pet store, and I know they work extremely well on odors, as I had two male cats (you know how bad their urine stinks!) who overmarked each others' territory constantly until I treated the carpet with the enzymatic cleaner. Hope this helps. (02/01/2005)

RE: Dog Pee Stain On Carpet

I've heard about a lot of things that helped, but since I'm on a budget, I tried to find something that I already had around the house to use. I already had some Simple Green (it comes concentrated, but I dilute it) and I spray the pee spot and scrub it with a little scrub brush (with bristles). Later, when I vacuum, I use the Arm & Hammer Pet Odor removal Carpet powder and the vacuum. It leaves the WHOLE house smelling fresh! I also buy the Arm & Hammer brand training pads for him to use it on. It absorbs the odor and work very well! Good Luck!~ (02/02/2005)

RE: Dog Pee Stain On Carpet

In the past I have used a spray of white vinegar on the stain, then clean it with the carpet cleaner. It does not always get the stain out though but try it. (02/02/2005)

RE: Dog Pee Stain on Carpet

Spend the money on a good quality commercial urine stain remover that deodorizes the spot - not "covers" the smell (AND all the underlying padding, etc.). It is needed to stop the odor from attracting a pet back to the same place. (12/20/2005)

Natures Miracle

Natures Miracle works great. There is another product that is cheaper in price that does the same thing... called Simple Solution Stain and odor remover. You have to follow the directions and it works. (12/20/2005)

RE: Dog Pee Stain on Carpet

Try the enzymatic cleaner called Nature's Miracle. It comes in a white bottle with red wording. It takes out pet stains and odors like nothing else. It even takes out cat urine smell. You can find it at pet stores, most of the big ones carry it, PetSmart, PetCo. (12/21/2005)

RE: Dog Pee Stain on Carpet

I'm not sure if this takes the stain out but i know it takes the odor out. Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet, wait ten minutes, and vaccum. It takes the odor out and may take some of the satin out. (06/29/2007)

I have had very good results with pet stains (and the even worse stains caused by my kids' barf) using both the "Kids and Pets" and "Nature's Miracle" products. lately I've been using the K&P, which can be found at Meijer. The "Miracle" should be easily found in pet stores like PETCO.

Applied liberally to soak the stain, well blotted up, followed by rinsing out with water using a wet carpet cleaner (I have a Bissell) Some stains required several spot treatments, where I would liberally soak the stain and leave the cleaner on, allowing it do dissolve the organic stain. For severe vomit stains, I used these products as the detergent component, with hot water rinse, in the Bissell. That, and a lot of patience.
